First of all, I'll like to thank those who help me out and who
make 386bsd and Xfree86. I'm really happy now.
For those who are collecting Xconfig info, here is mine:
"800x600" 40 800 892 1044 1136 600 603 609 630
[NOTE: there are more than one combination.]
Hareware:
VGA MENTOR: ET4000 based (Turbo MegaVGA Chip and BIOS)
NEC 2A.
For those who do know much about Xconfig, here is some sugguestions:
1. READ X386 man page first. It'll give you a rough idea about the
structure of Xconfig.
Note: Refer to Xconfig.sample when you're reading X386 man page.
2. Grab a copy of xclk from agate.berkeley.edu. It was in pub/incoming/X386
when I ftped it.
3. READ Bob Crosson's Xconfig.Notes.
4. Have your monitor's and adapter's manuals handy.
5. Run "xinit >& <file-name>", without quotes, to get your clocks
setting.
Again, thank you all netters.
